Broad explains reason for banning Inzy

March 30, 2005 18:17 IST

Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq's position of responsibility in the team was a major factor in deciding his punishment after he was found guilty of violating the ICC [Images] code of conduct during the third Test match against India in Bangalore on Monday.

"As captain he has to set an example for others to follow," ICC Match Referee Chris Broad said.

Broad's narrow view


Inzamam was found guilty of breaching two ICC codes of conduct -- for showing dissent at an umpire's decision in the ninth over of India's second innings for which he was fined 30 per cent of his match fee and advancing towards the umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing in the 90th over of India's second innings for which he was banned for one Test.

"Following the incident that happened in the ninth over of the innings, Inzamam was warned about appealing by the on-field umpires."

"In addition, I went to the Pakistan dressing room at lunch and requested the Pakistan coach to pass a message on to his team about the manner of their appealing. This means that when this second incident happened he knew he should not have reacted as he did," Broad was quoted as saying on the ICC website.
